Wildstar MMO - Page 68

this driver update only helps people with bad graphic cards who had reduced performance on higher settings.

It does nothing for people like me who sit at 55 FPS all day, no matter the settings

Seems like Wildstar should be renamed to Wildly poor framerate. I play in a window, in a much smaller bit of my monitor, but I was hoping things wouldn't be as problematic in terms of just frames.

playing with friends and all of us have noticed a pretty significant drop in framerates since 2 weeks ago

The main focus of the driver updates is to increase cpu efficiency of them and remove problematic interactions.

See Nvidia driver update to 337.5 that got 40% FPS increases in battlefield 3 when CPU bound



I seriously don't think this is a big issue, like people with AMD cards definately have a leg down right now but it has been improved some and it will be improved more. People with AMD CPU's either have 6 year old phenom II or FX, so they're kinda screwed but everyone else is good.


There's a reason my FPS is way higher than yours LaNague, you say you only get that high but do you really? If so then i have it beat by like 2x while having two CPU cores disabled - and the only explanation for that is GPU driver CPU efficiency, exactly what AMD is trying to fix right now. We can compare performance more if you like, i guess open to anyone who wants to do so



Did you benchmark the same areas, or is this just feeling? What hardware is it on? Performance seems the same or better on intel/nvidia, from what i've seen and tested with a few friends

It was in the ruins of kel voreth dungeon

I have a radeonhd r7850 and i went from 30-40 fps in the main world to an average of around 12 in smallish fights and 16-19 with no models on screen other than my own, no real test just alt f1. Anecdotal evidence probably isnt of much use but my friend who recently bought a much newer card was also going to sub 20 fps and the rest of the group were practically vomitting down the microphone based on how much the performance dipped.

Just checked and i think i might have a shitty processor (AMD Phnom II x4 850 ~3.3Ghz) but other games perform fine on it

I actually really like the respawn system. It helps reduce the impact of completely random gibs from RNG (which is already lower impact than WoW's RNG) and helps to ensure that the winner is the overall better team rather than the one who gets lucky once or twice. There's also a little added strategy with regards to your healer suiciding to come back at full focus (mana), or deliberately leaving the enemy healer alive when killing their dps to force him to try and heal at low focus.

It puts more emphasis towards "cleave" teams rather then setting up kills.

It also turn 3's into just doing more damage, then once their healer is oom always just kill the dps over and over.

Killing the healer in 3's loses you games...

I don't have a problem with fps but I play on lowest settings out of preference. This sounds pretty promiseing for people.

I believe that this is the answer, although it's hard to tell if people will realize it or not. If you look at his screenshot of his core utilization Here you can see that after Wildstar has been told to not use Core 0, Core 0 is still at 62% utilization (which means a lot is going on besides Wildstar on that core whether he realizes it or not - I'd like to see his processes tab to see what Windows says is using that core). That core would be near 0% (obviously, since Wildstar is no longer using it) unless there is other programs using it. Thus, his fps sucks because Wildstar was trying to run it's main thread on a busy core.

Those who do not get more fps from this "fix", such as myself, have nothing going on on Core 0 other than Wildstar, and therefore by doing this the utilization of Core 0 goes to nearly 0% and the game just uses a different core and carries on as normal.

Surprise, if your PC is already busy, it'll have trouble playing games!!

That was a pretty epic comeback xD

I've only played Stalker atm, so I don't understand anything happening in this vid, why didn't they just burst you again? It seems like you drop in a matter of seconds on your 2nd death, couldn't they just repeat that?
